I have forced myself to finish this game so I can properly warn everybody.

The graphics and music are good, and the gameplay itself it´s kind of fun but a little bit too repetitive, full of minigames that are hit or miss. But every good thing this game does it´s ruined by the plot and the writing.

It´s overly convoluted and doesn´t understand the appeal of the OG game. If you didn´t like the whispers before get ready for something 1000 times worse. They ruin some of the most iconic moments in gaming history.

The writing is even worse than in part one, everyone reverted to being oversimplified versions of themselves. Childish, overacted, and annoying, they are no longer the characters we used to love, especially Sephiroth. He is basically Ansen, appears out of nowhere says something cryptic, and leaves. The character is completely ruined.

Stay away from this game if you have any respect or love for the OG and good storytelling in general.

The open world is really bad. I thought we left this Ubisoft/checklist style world in the past, I guess not

Idc what you say about the rest but "oversimplified versions of themselves" is actually the biggest lie you can ever tell. Almost the whole cast is written in way more detail now. Nice reviewbomb tho

This is one of the worst takes I've ever seen.

I can agree about the minigames and the childish behaviour of the team (especially the girls). But Sephiroth appears out of nowhere, says something cryptic, and leaves in the original game too.

Why make the review so negative if you still liked some elements of the game (graphics, music and gameplay)? To stand out because of the bombreview? I get your other points and I'll 100% understand why you think so, but c'mon now. Liking those ones but hating the storyline equals to a 2 or 2.5/5 review rather than a 0.5.
